By the way, I didn't follow up on this - I had no success with WordStar 4.0 and
I suspect the reason might be that the version posted on classiccmp.org might
be for Z80 rather than 8080. It doesn't actually say on the site which CPU
it's for, but it's from 1987 so I'm inclined to think it might not have been
uploaded by an 8080 user... I'm guessing it isn't 8086 code because the
executables are .COM files, not .CMD, and I can at least execute some of the
small utilities like the ones to do with spellcheck, and they display a bit of
output indicating that I didn't supply a filename on the command line or
whatnot... but if I execute WS.COM or WINSTALL.COM the machine displays no
output and locks up solid - F8 won't even go back to the M100 menu.
I kept a backup image of it in case anybody with more CP/M experience has any
suggestions, but I did go back to my old image from before I started copying WS
4.0 into the machine so it's a bit time-consuming to try anything (35 minutes
to restore the WS 4.0 image, and another 35 minutes to restore my current image
back).
